In S5E3 I sit down with my friend and collaborator Dr. Mervat Abdel Nasser. Dr. Nasser has written psychological and philosophical commentaries on ancient Egyptian thought. In 2007, she took an early retirement from her job as consultant psychiatrist and senior lecturer at King’s College and returned to Egypt to pursue her dream of founding the New Hermopolis - an Eco-village with the mission of harnessing Middle Egypt’s heritage towards the cultural and economic development in the region of Minya, Egypt near the ruins of the ancient city of Hermopolis Magna. Dr. Nasser and myself are co-organizers of the Hermopolis symposium, hosted at her New Hermopolis village October 23rd to the 27th of this year, which will feature international scholars independent researchers and high-level practitioners in the fields of esotericism including Wouter Hanegraaff, Shannon Grimes, Charles Stang, Gregory Shaw, Mark Vernon, Aaron Cheak, Soledad Davies, Jaime Paul Lamb, P.D. Newman, Carl Hayden Smith, and many others. In addition to the on-site conference, the Arcanvm channel will be presenting a digital track as well, featuring digital presentations by Marlene Seven Bremner, Peter Mark Adams, Ronnie Pontiac, and others. Audiences can participate in the proceedings of the entirety of conference digitally by purchasing passes at the link below.
